Facts
• Deceased Damasa Crisostomo sent a letter to
defendant regarding her subscription to shares of
capital stock in QC, Inc.
• Damasa Crisostomo died on October 26, 1948.
• As no payment appears to have been made on
the subscription mentioned in the foregoing letter,
the Quezon College, Inc. presented a claim before
the Court of First Instance of Bulacan in her testate
proceeding, for the collection of the sum of
P20,000, representing the value of the subscription
to the capital stock of the Quezon College, Inc.

Facts
• This claim was opposed by the administrator of the
estate, and the Court of First Instance of Bulacan,
after hearing issued an order dismissing the claim of
the Quezon College, Inc. on the ground that the
subscription in question was neither registered in nor
authorized by the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
• From this order, the Quezon College, Inc. has
appealed.

Facts
• It appears that the application sent by Damasa
Crisostomo to the Quezon College, Inc. was written
on a general form indicating that an applicant will
enclose an amount as initial payment and will pay
the balance in accordance with law and the
regulations of the College.

Facts
• On the other hand, in the letter actually sent by
Damasa Crisostomo, the latter (who requested that
her subscription for 200 shares be entered) not only
did not enclose any initial payment but stated that
"babayaran kong lahat pagkatapos na ako ay
makapagpahuli ng isda."

The BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Quezon College
Manila

Letter

June 1, 1948

Gentlemen:Please enter my subscription to dalawang daan (200) shares of your capital stock with a par value of P100 each. Enclosed you will find (Babayaran kong lahat pagkatapos na ako ay makapag-pahuli ng isda) pesos as my initial payment and the balance payable in accordance with law and the rules and regulations of the Quezon College. I hereby agree to shoulder the expenses connected with said shares of stock. I further submit myself to all lawful demands, decisions or directives of the Board of Trustees of the Quezon College and all its duly constituted officers or authorities (ang nasa itaas ay binasa at ipinaliwanag sa akin sa wikang tagalog na aking nalalaman). Very respectfully,

Testate
• One who dies leaving a valid will, or the description
of this status.

Issue
• Whether or not the condition entered into by both
parties are valid.

Held
• No, it is not valid.

Ratio Decidendi
• There is nothing in the record to show that the
Quezon College, Inc. accepted the term of
payment suggested by Damasa Crisostomo, or that
if there was any acceptance the same came to her
knowledge during her lifetime.
• As the application of Damasa Crisostomo is
obviously at variance with the terms evidenced in
the form letter issued by the Quezon College, Inc.,
there was absolute necessity on the part of the
College to express its agreement to Damasa's offer
in order to bind the latter.

Ratio Decidendi
• Conversely, said acceptance was essential,
because it would be unfair to immediately obligate
the Quezon College, Inc. under Damasa's promise
to pay the price of the subscription after she had
caused fish to be caught.

Ratio Decidendi
• In other words, the relation between Damasa
Crisostomo and the Quezon College, Inc. had only
thus reached the preliminary stage.

Ratio Decidendi
• Indeed, the need to express acceptance on the
part of the Quezon College, Inc. becomes the more
imperative, in view of the proposal of Damasa
Crisostomo to pay the value of the subscription...

This paper helps one understand how the organizations IT vision could go haywire and end up in a liability for the organization if managerial decision making relating to IT projects are avoided by top management and hence by default passed on to IT people.

Six IT Decisions Your IT PeopleShouldn’tMake
The Idea in Brief
Gnashing your teeth because your firm’s hefty IT investments generate weak returns? Most companies are in the same boat. Worse, some suffer disastrous losses owing to mismanaged IT decisions. (Witness companies that sank millions into CRM software—then discovered they didn’t need it.) Why these fiascoes? Many non-IT executives leave key information-technology decisions to IT executives because they don’t feel comfortable enough with technology to manage it in detail. Result? IT executives make choices that...

...In everyone's life
there comes a point in time when you assess your life, not
just look back in time, but see the progression, the triumphs
and the failures.....Eleanor Smith had reached this point. She

gone from her marriage, she is unable to influence her
children's life, her best friend, who is an alcoholic seems to
have her life in more order then Eleanor. How did her happy
life slip away before her eyes. The story evolves around
Eleanor, emotions and feelings. On the outside side she tries
to be the happy homemaker, and plans dinnners for the

her rebelious teenage daughter, and play the friend figure,
but whatever she does nothing seems to make them as close

anymore. Her son, who is going through a rough time,
because he recently broke up eith his girlfriend, won't allow

... The film “How to Make Better Decisions” was quite interesting. The beginning of the film highlighted how based on science, it shows that the decisions we make are bad. We assume that we have a strong awareness of our choices and the reason why we do certain things. I agree with that because every time I make a decision, I always think that I know what the outcome would be, but really I am only making a decision based on my emotions and I am only assuming to think the outcome will be great. When I was in high school, there was a pair of sneakers that I really wanted. These sneakers were about $100 and my mother thought I was crazy for wanting them. At that time in my life, I convinced myself that I should buy these sneakers because they were cute and I really wanted them. Looking back now, that was a very bad decision. I could have saved that money and used it for something else. The only reason why I wanted those shoes was simply because everyone in school wanted them, but only certain students could afford them. It was like I had to prove something by buying those shoes, and I did not make a logical decision when purchasing them, I acted out on emotions. At that time in my life, my “grip on reality” was not as tight as I thought.
I found it quite hilarious in the documentary, when Mathematician Garth Sundem spoke to the four men...

...People are not free to make moral decisions. Discuss [35]
Is it right to say that our actions are determined, or are they free? Hard determinists argue that when we make a moral decision, we have no free will. This is significant because if we do not choose our actions we cannot be held morally responsible. Given our experience of decision making this determinist position is hard to accept and perhaps the compatabilist approach of soft determinism is more valid. Soft Determinists recognise that we can make a decision freely that is coerced but the choices in themselves may be determined themselves. This contrasts with libertarianism, which states that we freely choose our actions and rejects determinism.
To fully examine whether we are in fact free or not to make moral decisions, we must first analyse what particular factors affect our decision making. When we debate over a decision we consider/ weigh up our options, we know that we have a choice and only we can make that choice, this is known as a libertarian view. Libertarians believe that we have full responsibility of our actions and nothing else affects our decision, however genes, environment, lifestyle and our upbringing affect or sometimes might determine our choices. Determinism objects libertarianism and believes that...

...How PeopleMake Economic Decisions
Business Dictionary.com defines consumer decision making as “the process by which consumers identify their needs, collect information, evaluate alternatives, and make the purchase decision. These actions are determined by psychological and economical factors, and are influenced by environmental factors such as cultural, group, and social values.” (BusinessDictionary.com, 2007)
Four major economic forces drive the decision a consumer makes when purchasing goods or services that are taking tradeoffs, price, margin of benefits, and incentives and are the first four principles in the study of economics.(Mankiw, 2006)
The first of these is taking tradeoffs by which the consumer gives up something for something that is desired more or has a better value. If, for example, the consumer is trying to decide what kind of vehicle to buy between a sedan or a sports model that only seats two occupants. The trade off is the number of passengers the consumer could haul in the vehicle and make the decision based on that or the fuel efficiency rating between the two vehicles. A sports car would consume less fuel because the vehicle would not be weighed down with the extra passengers than a family car but a sports model may have a high performance engine which needs special maintenance or premium gas. The trade...

...How PeopleMake Economic Decisions
Vivian Shellmire
University of Phoenix, ECO/212
How PeopleMake Economic DecisionsPeoplemake economic decisions daily by deciding how much of all things available they will buy and what prices they are willing to pay for the resource or services. Through individual decision-making of people regarding supply demands for their needs and wants, it is businesses who decide what and how many goods are to be sold, and at what prices to sell to consumers. In this paper I will list and briefly explain the four principles of individual decision-making; provide an example of a decision in which marginal benefits and marginal costs associated with that decision are compared, and then what marginal benefits and marginal costs were associated in decision making. I will also explore what incentives could have led to making a different decision and explain how the principles of economics affect decision-making, interaction, and the workings of the economy.
“What people are willing to pay for a resource or service can be measured and the change in the amount of goods and services demanded is elastic or variable depending on the price they are willing to pay” (Randall, 2010, Para 4) This is...

...Principles of Individual Decision-Making
Every day, peoplemakedecisions of varying degrees of importance. According to Hubbard & O’Brien, the issues discussed in economics are illustrated by a basic fact of life: that people must make choices as they try to attain their goals. Economics is the study of the choices peoplemake to attain their goals given their scarce resources (Hubbard & O’Brien, 2010). Each individual will vary as to the outcome of their decision based on the situation, but the common denominator seems to be the principles of individual decision-making.
Scholars may disagree somewhat on these principles. However, there is a consensus that includes three important principles. According to Hubbard & O’Brien, these are:
1) People are assumed to be rational.
2) People respond to economic incentives.
3) Optimal decisions are made at the margin.
Let’s look at each principle individually for a brief explanation. The first principle is that of rational behavior. People are assumed to be rational. However, this does not necessarily mean that each person given a choice will make the best decision or the right decision. It can be interpreted to mean that people usually act rationally based on the...
